Does the author/s contribute in the comments? Or are saying the author is you?

Else you are assuming you argumentation, which FWIW is frankly dismal.

All you do is throw debating misdirection devices at the fellow, any use of which I’d you know is regarded scurrilous and lowly; dishonesty. Going on and on about a peripheral passage of no consequence at all in the authentic substance.is a smear plain and simple: Claims that amount to a charge that an extensively researched theory inclusive of a significant body of SUPPORTING evidence is somehow defective for it; a failure of fairness and balance. Are you off your nut? A scientific theory is not spoon-fed. The sufficiently competent and relevant scientific readership wants to consider the case; already knows or knows how to assemble any wider material with direct necessity in that immediate assessment. That’s why it’s CALLED supporting evidence. So concluding, I took your advice and read some of the comments and having done that I am as near certain as can be, you and the cackling others do not speak for the authors on any account: this independent of what they may think of McCarthy. From hating his guts birthing his baby, even if they killed him and buried his argument in an unmarked pigsty, they’d never knowingly associate themselves with your dismal character assassinating savagery. I see a pig.

Seriously, we can scientifically rule out your argument, Greg, because Pigs have not issued prohibitions against eating People, ergo, they cannot taste the same. Or Pigs have divine knowledge that Pigs Really Are Not Like People. Or Pigs Really Don’t Like People. Or People Really Don’t Like Pigs. Or it might have something to do with people liking to make stuff up to explain things that they don’t understand. I don’t think pigs do that… Maybe they’re smarter than people.

Anyhow, as I realized how entertaining a pet she really was, I began to suspect that reasons we don’t have let chickens include their inability to talk (like parrots, ravens and some other birds) and how common they are. We also, for comfort, prefer to believe an animal we eat is “stupid,” because it makes us feel a little less uncomfortable eating something if it really wasn’t very aware in the first place.

I have realized ethically that I should only eat what I am willing to raise and kill myself, but I am not there yet, and still buy meat from butchers, farmers and grocery store.

Sharing this because it parallels pigs (don’t like the smell of them and am unlikely to ever have one) and even is pertinent to the animal experimentation question. I know we need to do some trials on animals. I know I still eat chicken. As hard as it is, until we find better options, I don’t see other choices. Well, I guess I could be a vegan… maybe I am lazy.
